Eve Stern Bellevue Esthetician - enhance your lashes

Eye Lash Envy

It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Having beautiful, long lashes can draw attention to your eyes, make your eyes look pronounced and can influence how you want others to see you. Do you like a more natural lash look? Perhaps more dramatic, theatrical ,pathetically unadorned or flirty? When wearing a mask, it is “eye-ronic” that our eyes are even more the focus than before the epidemic.

The good news is there are many ways to enhance your lashes. Even if you go out without face makeup, nice looking lashes can make a positive difference. As busy women, we can choose to use a variety of lash options depending on the look we want on any day while taking into consideration other variables such as cost, time, comfort, ease of application and safety. The Covid-19 epidemic has added a new dimension when deciding which lash option is best for you since social distancing is impossible for the application by a licensed lash artist.

In an attempt to keep it simple, I’ve prepared a quick reference sheet for weighing out the lash enhancement options to help you make the right decision that works with your lifestyle to achieve the look you want.
